@BeefWellingtons, you are definitely right on pollen and it's ability to travel. I have actually thought of this and terminated the poor fella already. I do hate to kill a plant of any kind though. It is indeed a bummer.

Yes! I had been considering scrogging. I may consider harder now.

Top them , let them grow, supercropp them under a net and they will all fit together to fill up quickly all the space.

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, considering their current size, how high do you think I should place the net? Also, in the beginning, I only had two T5s and now I have three so the growth has been much faster. I didn't really like the T5s at the beginning (they were a gift), but they are growing on me.

@Tamaram, place it at 1/4 high of your growth space. T5’s are awesome, cheap and economic.

not to be a bummer, and I am a newbie, but I've heard just a tiny bit of that Male pollen on your clothes/fingers/hair, etc. is all it would take to mess up those ladies. I would reconsider putting it in the trash now before an accident happens. It could blow in through an open window or come in on a fly. I've read that if the wind is right pollen has traveled from Morrico to Spain.my 2 cents

7-9wks. is generally what most flowering times are, but some plants can stretch on another week or two. Trichomes are your ticket to harvest, if you haven't already; read into that and invest in a jewelers loupe. I pick when they're cloudy with maybe 5-10% amber colored, but that's my preference as I prefer a more energetic high than couch lock.

Lol I love your diary title! Oh btw you could still top her also, cut that very center top set of leaves and stem and shell split and give you a flatter base also. It will also slow the growth a tiny bit and maybe give you a touch more time to do any other training or things youd like.

Wellingtons has a legitimate concern stated, be vary careful with keeping yourself clean if walking between the two.

@Kirr38, By the time he posted that, I had already killed it if you see my above comment. So no concerns there. All gals are budding and doing great!

Hi @Tamaram! Yes you can increase resin production and make buds fatten up, but be careful with the doses and don't forget to give a good 10-15 days flush before harvesting. "Big Bloom", "Tiger Bloom", and "Cha Ching" can be used until the very last days of flowering (before the flush). FoxFarm has a feeding schedule on their website, I'd recommend to start with 1/2 of what is written there. Hope this helps, keep us up-to-date and happy growing! 👊

Depending on how you train and trim your plants it's possible....but I seriously doubt it. Looks like a 2x2xwhatever height tent, IMO....that size is good for 1 or two plants.

Kirr38commentedweek 57y ago

Do some research on scrogging, this may be your ticket to keeping your grow space the fullest. Topping/ Main Lining will take you only so far in that endeavor.

I did just top off about 4 days ago, I thought it might be too soon to do again. Thoughts?

Tamaramcommentedweek 57y ago

I like to think anything is possible. However, you are correct the tent is 2X3X4. I had only intended on having two, but I got nervous and germinated too many. I wasn't expecting it to go so well. I plan to give at least two away. I am pretty experienced in pruning many different varieties of plants so I am hoping this knowledge will transfer. We will just have to see how it goes! Thank you for the input!
